MSNBC airs Trevor Noah's Split Screen & More on Garland's move.
Tonight 11-20-22 at 10 eastern. 8pm AZ time.
Google tells us:
“From executive producer Trevor Noah and director Rebecca Gitlitz, Split Screen explores the history of active dissemination of mis- and disinformation that has created diametrically opposing realities among Americans and how it has led us to this point.”
Important to watch. No matter what you know, or think you know, or what side of this event you are on. The presentation seems to indicate it will be looking at the mind sets of all those involved.
We will likely be litigating Jan 6, the failed yet attempted overturn of the 2020 presidential election from the winner, Joe Biden to the loser, Donald Trump, and so much more over the coming months and years. May as well setting in for the long haul. The truth about so much needs to come out in the public because without our understanding, frankly, that’s what happens in authoritarian regimes dictatorships.
We need to know, because we need to be informed of events that affect our government. We need to know for many reasons but voting is one biggy. Another is to understand and support our institutions in this case, generally, law enforcement. Interestingly, it is the Republican leaning folks that have worried the most about the ongoing support of our police. Glad the Democrats didn’t manage to defund them. (Laugh out loud track inserted here for the irony crowd.)
We are facing one of the most sweeping investigations in our young history. Merrick Garland has just announced the formation of a special council to investigate an prosecute two major topics of concern. The lawyer appointed at the head, is John L. Smith, who goes by Jack. Look into his career for fine details. What is known that bears pointing out is Mr. Smith who is still in the Netherlands and will work from there for now due to a mending leg, was working on a case that involved war crimes in Kosovo in the 1990’s.
Smith works for the ICC, The International Criminal Court at The Hague, Netherlands. Their purpose is to prosecute those accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Garland appointing Smith to the case in the US, is feeling like a circle closed and looking smaller and encircling the targets. Turns out when Trump was in office, there was tinkering with a number of things that have been looked at and need further investigation. One is in the courts now. The subject was Ukraine and the funds allocated to them that Trump was attempting to hold hostage away from the capable hands of Zalensky for a statement against Hunter Biden and tarnishing Joe Biden. It’s all coming back, I’m sure. Well,
Donald J. Trump, it is reported here (video link to Eric Garland, no relation to Merrick Garland. I encourage you listen to the entire video, but cued for you. It has some tough information relating to crimes against people so, do be warned.) that Trump in his capacity as POTUS, hindered the investigation led by Smith.
In similar news, Elon Musk continues to make a fool out of himself while also hurting his companies in an attempt to do who knows what. Still looking for sense in what seems to be willful destruction.
Watch tonight.
